Finally visited Destillerie Farthofer! A young, very dedicated and enthusiastic young man led us on a guided tour of the distillery. He did it with such passion – everything was truly fascinating. Afterwards, a tasting of the excellent Bio-quality schnapps and the Mostello (tasted just like port wine). Highly recommended!

Every expectation met. Wonderful fruit brandies, wonderful insights into the world of schnapps ....
A super interesting guided tour with Doris and Josef.
An evening full of wonderful impressions – honest, innovative, world-class and tasteful in every respect. A clear recommendation for everyone who wants to witness and above all experience genuine, dedicated, flavourful craftsmanship.

Farthofer's Mostelleria
The press house was built in 1874 and still stands proudly on the village square of Öhling today. With great care and a sensitivity for its precious historic fabric, we renovated this listed building in 2010 and transformed it into our production, sales, and tasting venue. Here we regularly offer guided tours and tastings for curious visitors who want to take a peek behind the scenes. The building takes its name from our pear dessert wine "Mostello" – a protected original creation crafted from indigenous Mostviertel pear varieties and our own Bio pear brandy. Alongside "Mostello", our shop also carries all the other Bio fruit brandies and liqueurs from our distillery, as well as regional fine foods.
